Lambert St Louis STL Airport Overview

Lambert-St. Louis International Airport STL is Missouri's largest Airport and serves the City of St. Louis and its surrounding counties.

The Airport is located 10 miles northwest of St. Louis, conveniently situated inside the triangle of connecting Interstate Hwys I-270, 70 and I-170. It  is also connected to the Metrolink light rail, serving the greater Metropolitan St. Louis area. 

With four long runways and an estimated 12.7 million passengers in 2012, Lambert-St. Louis Airport is and is served by major airlines (Delta & Southwest presently being the dominant ones), offering nonstop flights throughout the country and connecting flights to all points of the globe.  Ticket sales are now open for Washington DCA flights  via Southwest Airline.

American Airline travelers:  Full ticketing operations in the now renovated areas have begun and self-service kiosks for American Airlines were installed; renovation of ticket counters for all other airlines at Terminal 1 followed.

The passenger terminal complex at Lambert-St. Louis Airport consists of two  terminals - T1 with Concourses A & C, and T2 with Concourse E.  Free shuttle buses continuously run between the terminals, and both  terminals have a MetroLink Red Line station to downtown St. Louis. (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map'. page).
Parking options at Lambert Airport include a cell phone lot, a 'Super Park' for short-, intermediate- and long-term parking with frequent shuttles 24/7, Garages 1 & 2, and Lots A, B & D. (For more information, please refer to 'Airport Parking' page.)

Rental car counters are in the lower level of the Main Terminal, between doors 12 & 17. Rental car buses pick up at T1, Exit door 17, and at T2, Exit door 12.
To get from Lambert-St. Louis Airport to your destination, you can rent a car (counters are on Terminal 1's lower level, between doors MT 12 & MT 17), take a taxi, a shared-ride shuttle, a bus or the Metrolink light rail:
1. A reliable and affordable way to get from Lambert Airport to the City is the GoBest Express (1-877-785-4682), the only official shared-ride shuttle with counters in the baggage claim area of both terminals, serves hotels, businesses, the Central West End, downtown Clayton and both St. Louis & Washington Universities. Shuttles depart STL every 15-30 minutes, 6am-10pm (and start service to the airport at 4am - reservations required).
2. The Bus Port handles all local bus service (MetroBus) and Greyhound Bus Service and is located off Lambert International Blvd., south of the Main Terminal. If you need to connect to the Bus Port, use the free terminal shuttle, making regular stops at Bus Port on its route between the two passenger terminals. Pickup is at Main Terminal: Exit Door MT 12 and East Terminal: Exit Door ET 15.
3. You can also take the Metrolink light rail service from Terminal 1, Exit Door MT1, upper level east of the American Airlines Credit Union, or from Terminal 2, South of terminal accessible through the parking garage on all levels. MetroLink is the St. Louis metropolitan region's light rail system operated by Metro, with 37 stations over 46 miles, and serving St. Louis County, Missouri, St. Clair and Monroe Counties in Illinois, and the City of St. Louis.

Future Airport Developments:  Within a year after the April 2011 tornado destroyed parts of the terminal,  a sparkling new and even better passenger terminal has evolved. All what remains to be done is construction of Entry/Exit 12, while alternate doorways will be used for passengers to enter & exit the terminal during this time.  Also new glass-enclosed walkways are being added.  The Hudson Group is busy adding new concessions up to Summer 2013.
